The manufacturing world today is feeling the impact of new environmental regulations. There's CSRD, the corporate sustainability reporting Directive, and the CSDD corporate sustainability due diligence directive, which put manufacturers in the hot seat for reporting and planning their carbon output. Then there's the international sustainability standards boards, S1 and S2, which lay out guidelines for reporting resource consumption and emissions respectively, and then there's the Carbon border adjustment mechanism or CBAM, which will make companies pay attention to the environmental cost of material imports, which will soon add up to financial cost as well. For manufacturing companies scrambling to fulfill these new regulations, the first hurdle is finding the right data, you need benchmarks to calculate carbon energy use and other sustainability goals accurately, and where can you get that data? That's where LCA data providers come in.
